the line card (8683XLR is a LAN-only module. 8683XZR is a LAN/
WAN module). Model numbers ending in R denote a LAN interface; 
model numbers ending in W denote a WAN interface.

Note: For Release 4.1, Nortel recommends installing only one 
10GBase-ZR/ZW due to cooling limitations on the 8683XLR and XZR. 
Nortel further recommends the installation of the XFP only in Port 1. A 
10GBase-SR, -LR/LW, or ER/EW can be installed in one or both of the 
remaining ports.
